Suffering and Possibility
By:
- Synopsis
-
With great humor and love, Norman Fischer, the former Abbott of the San Francisco Zen Center, shares an event in his life that shook him to his core, despite his many years of practice.
Fischer shares what it really means to master suffering in a practical way, and what it looks like to achieve happiness in the face of unimaginable loss and sorrow. Neither Buddhism or meditation insulates us from pain, but when we're aware of our thoughts and perceptions as they arise, we're free from their control over us.
